Giuseppe Rossi

Giuseppe Rossi serves as Associate Professor at the Department of Agricultural, Food, Environmental, and Forestry Sciences and Technologies (DAGRI) at the University of Florence and holds an Associate Professor position at the university's UNESCO Chair. His research program focuses on technological innovation for sustainable agriculture and livestock systems, with particular emphasis on biobased materials and advanced environmental monitoring solutions.

His academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Agricultural and Forestry Engineering, University of Florence (2012)
• Master's Degree in Agricultural Science and Technology, University of Florence (2005)
• Diploma as Industrial Technical Expert, I.T.I.S. G. Giorgi, Milan

Professor Rossi's research spans several interconnected domains in agricultural technology innovation:

• Biobased Materials: Co-inventor of two national and one international patent for sustainable applications in agricultural contexts
• Advanced Sensing Systems: Development of UAV-based monitoring for gaseous emissions, particulate matter, and environmental parameters in livestock operations
• Digital Agriculture: Implementation of AI, machine learning, and augmented reality for precision farming applications
• Sustainable Infrastructure: Design of eco-friendly rural buildings and resource-efficient agricultural systems

Analysis of his recent publications (2024-2025) reveals a strong methodological trend toward drone-based environmental monitoring in livestock facilities, with significant work on greenhouse gas quantification, coffee crop analysis using multispectral imaging, and biobased composite development. The integration of machine learning with remote sensing data represents a unifying thread across his current research portfolio.

Key professional recognitions include:

• National Qualification as Associate Professor (07/C1 - Agricultural, Forestry, and Biosystem Engineering) valid until 2031
• National Qualification as Full Professor (07/C1) valid until 2034
• Successful funding awards for innovation projects on biomaterials and agroforestry sustainability

As an academic leader, Professor Rossi supervises doctoral research in sustainable agroforestry resource management and has coordinated numerous national and international research initiatives. His grant portfolio demonstrates extensive fieldwork across five continents, including significant collaborations in Iraq, Burkina Faso, Tanzania, and South Africa, alongside partnerships throughout Europe, South America, and the Middle East.

He actively contributes to institutional development through the creation of the "A-GreenTech" Master's program for digital agriculture professionals and serves as DAGRI's delegate for internationalization, fostering academic partnerships with Latin American universities while supporting orientation for Wildlife and Environmental Resource Management and Forest Systems Science graduate programs.
